Mental illness can make life difficult, for the person with the diagnosis and those around him/her. It does not matter what type of mental illness: Bipolar to Asperger’s Syndrome — the list goes on.
Summit County Clubhouse is a relatively new nonprofit whose mission is to provide an inclusive community in which all adults living with a mental health diagnosis can achieve their highest potential.
Clubhouse is a supportive, recovery-based community for adults living with mental illness that offers opportunities for friendship, employment, education, community and access to other important services in a single caring and safe environment. The Clubhouse model has over 70 years of statistics behind it, showing membership in a Clubhouse reduces the number of suicide, hospitalization and incarceration rates associated with mental illness.
On Friday, Nov. 4, Summit County Clubhouse will be participating in the 12th annual LIVE PC GIVE PC event, sponsored by the Park City Community Foundation. We hope anyone and everyone who knows and cares about someone living with mental illness considers our mission worthy of your donation.
Check out the website livepcgivepc.org, and consider contributing to Summit County Clubhouse during this virtual 24-hour event or any time.
